      [PATCH] Adding driver model support in IDE · 18277e88
      Patrick Mochel authored
      This adds the basic driver model support for the IDE subsystem.
      
      Basically, it registers the controllers and devices with the driver
      model core, which puts them in the device tree and gets them a directory
      in driverfs.  The driverfs layout looks like this (on my workstation):
      
      	[mochel@cherise mochel]$ tree -d /sys/root/pci0/
      	/sys/root/pci0/
      	|-- 00:00.0
      	|-- 00:01.0
      	|   `-- 01:00.0
      	|-- 00:02.0
      	|   `-- 02:1f.0
      	|       `-- 03:00.0
      	|-- 00:1e.0
      	|   `-- 04:04.0
      	|-- 00:1f.0
      	|-- 00:1f.1
      	|   |-- ide0
      	|   |   |-- 0.0
      	|   |   `-- 0.1
      	|   `-- ide1
      	|       |-- 1.0
      	|       `-- 1.1
      
      The drive bus IDs (the directory names)  are created using this:
      
      	sprintf(bus_id,"%u.%u",hwif->index,unit);
      
      which should give each drive a unique name for the entire system, right?
      
      I've also created a struct bus_type for IDE, which gives ide a directory
      in the driverfs bus/ directory. The layout of that is:
      
      	[mochel@cherise mochel]$ tree -d /sys/bus/ide/
      	/sys/bus/ide/
      	|-- devices
      	|   |-- 0.0 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.1/ide0/0.0
      	|   |-- 0.1 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.1/ide0/0.1
      	|   |-- 1.0 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.1/ide1/1.0
      	|   `-- 1.1 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.1/ide1/1.1
      	`-- drivers
      
      Those are symlinks under devices/ (which is why the drive names must be
      unique..). When drivers are registered with the IDE core, they should also
      be passed through the core, which will give them a directory in the
      drivers/ directory just above.
      
      In general, there is a bit of code that can be cleaned up, and some
      explicit calls removed, because of the way the driver model core works.
      Most of these are pretty simple, and barring any objections, I will
      implement and send them to you.

      [PATCH] IDE fixes · f3533a9f
      Jens Axboe authored
      starting from 2.5.35 IDE stopped working on my alphas because of
      following problems:
      
      - ide_hwif_configure() ignores BARs for IDE base/control registers
        and assumes legacy 0x1f0/0x170 ports, unless controller reports
        native PCI mode (ProgIf bits 0 and 2).
      
        This is incorrect, as there are quite a few IDE chips operating
        in "semi-legacy" mode, i.e. legacy interrupts, but functional
        BAR0-3, like cy82c693 and ali5229. I guess Andre could give a lot
        more examples. :-)
      
        This happens to work on i386 simply because BIOS usually assigns
        legacy values to BAR0-3, but we can't rely on it.
      
        Just checking respective resource->start for zero should work in
        all cases.
      
      - ide_pci_check_iomem(): resource->flags == 0 means "unconfigured" as well.
        Thus we avoid false positives.
      
      - Apparently cut'n'paste typo in cy82c693.c - wrong PCI IDs.

      [PATCH] reduced locking in release_pages() · 12f189a1
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Marcus Alanen <maalanen@ra.abo.fi>
      
      Don't retake the zone lock after spilling a batch of pages into the
      buddy.
      
      Instead, just clear local variable `zone' to indicate that no lock is
      held.
      
      This is actually a common case - whenever release_pages() is called
      with exactly 16 pages (truncate, page reclaim..) Marcus' patch will
      save a lock and an unlock.
      
      Also, remove some lock-avoidance heuristics in
      pagevec_deactivate_inactive(): the caller has already made these
      checks, and the chance of the check here actually doing anything useful
      is negligible.

      [PATCH] misc fixes · e19941e9
      Andrew Morton authored
      - Spell Jeremy's name correctly.
      
      - Fix compile warning in raw.c
      
      - Do a waitqueue_active() test before waking klogd in printk.
      
        Not only is is negligibly faster, but the wake_up() in there causes
        deadlocks when you try to print debug info out from inside scheduler
        code.
      
        This patch gives a delightfully obscure way of avoiding the
        deadlock: kill off klogd.
      
      - Fix a couple of compile warnings in the mtrr code.

      [PATCH] blk_init() cleanups · fc1be578
      Andrew Morton authored
      From Christoph Hellwig, acked by Jens.
      
      - remove some unneeded runtime initializers.
      
      - remove the explicit call to hd_init() - it already goes through
      module_init(), so we're currently running hd_init() twice.
